The fact that the actors had to sing and dance every ten seconds into the story line made little sense to me. Maybe I lacked the insight but musicals were never my thing. That all changed one fine day when all I could hear was my friends continuously talk about Wicked on social media websites and how it shouldn’t be missed. In order to figure out what all the fuss was about I did what any rational person would do. I logged onto popular website Ticket Vistas and bought me a pair of Cheap Wicked Tickets and headed to the majestic Gershwin Theater to watch a presentation of what in my opinion was an extremely overrated piece of Broadway. Boy was I proven wrong.

The musical manages to capture the same majestic grandeur of Oz which made the classic 1939 Hollywood movie starring iconic actress Judy Garland a massive blockbuster. It features magnificent performances all around and breakthrough special effects which contribute heavily to the overall feel of the show. The set design is breathtaking and does a great job of bringing the Land of Oz back to life. The music and lyrics kick things up a notch and set the bar for magical entertainment.

Wicked is probably the best musical I’ve ever seen and I’ve seen quite a few. The story of a green-skinned evil witch Elphaba and her relationship with popular good witch Glinda is a treat to watch. Except for a few parts which were frightening for children, the musical does a fantastic job of immersing the audience in the enchanted Land of Oz

It takes two to tango. Wicked gives you a chance to hear the bad guys side of the story for a change, who, under normal circumstances, die a painful death at the hands of the hero. The audience wakes up to citizens of Oz celebrating the death of the Wicked Witch of the West. During that time Glinda, the Good Witch of the South appears to explain, through a series of flashbacks, why the green skinned witch whose name is Elphaba melted and their history together.

Popularly dubbed as “The Untold Story of Oz” the musical is based on Gregory Maguire’s best-selling book titled Wicked: The Life and Times of the Wicked Witch of the West which was a parallel novel to the classic The Wonderful Wizard of Oz. The show makes frequent references to the beloved Frank Baum book, and is written from the perspective of the Wicked Witch of the West whilst Dorothy’s journey through the Land of Oz.

Children make up a large portion of the audience and are drawn to this particular musical because of its ability to appeal to their imaginations by breathing life into their favorite characters from the movie right before their eyes.

If you’re planning on purchasing Wicked Broadway Tickets then I’d recommend seeing the show in the company of your family and friends to get more bang for your buck. This one will surely entertain you like it entertained me. Have fun!

Sure it is similar to that, and features more or less the same exciting plot, musical numbers and characters but if you really dig down and analyze it turns out to be completely different. In my opinion the stage adaptation of the blockbuster movie is an entirely different affair. Unlike the movie, all the stage performers wear black and sometimes revealing costumes and majority of the stage props consist of nothing but ladders and chairs. The highlight of the musical is its brilliant Bob Fosse choreography which sets this production apart from other musicals and contributes heavily to the overall feel of the show, sometimes even surpassing the main plot. So the question whether you’ll enjoy spending your money on this musical depends solely on whether you enjoy choreographed routines or not. If you do, you’ll surely have an experience unlike any other. The costumes feel authentic and the stage design is breathtaking and accurately depicts an early 90’s Chicago. Music and lyrics penned by Kander and Ebb are superb and on par with other smash hit musicals.

Story line

The story is set in a 1920’s Chicago. Vaudevillian Velma Kelly murders both her husband and sister after she finds them in bed together. In the meantime chorus girl Roxie Hart murders her lover and is imprisoned at the Cook County Jail, after her faithful husband Amos refuses to take the blame. The prison already houses Velma Kelly and a corrupt matron “Mama” Morton who does favors in exchange for favors. Velma is not pleased to see Roxie Hart who continuously hits on her lawyer, the brilliant Billy Flynn. In her efforts to get free Roxie uses every trick in the book to avoid a death penalty and get back into the limelight where she thinks she truly belongs.

With its simple setting and story line the lead performers really needed to impress the audience with brilliant acting and dancing from the moment they appear on stage, and they’ve done exactly that. Characters of Velma, Roxie, Mama Matron and Billy Flynn have been performed magnificently and immerse the audience in the story line as soon as the curtains are lifted.

The ensemble cast carries the show brilliantly with impressive vocals. Numbers such as “All That Jazz”, “We Both Reached for the Gun”, and “Razzle Dazzle” are engaging and utterly scintillating.

Chicago the musical is an adult affair through and through. Entertainment value of the show is top notch and production values are unmatched. During its original run in 1996, the musical won pretty much all major awards Broadway has to offer including a Drama Desk Award for Outstanding Revival of a Musical and a Tony Award for Best Revival of a Musical. It is highly recommended to fans of Broadway that they watch this one at least once and popular website Ticket Vistas can make it happen for them. You will exit the hall singing tunes from the show. That’s a guarantee!

This past November the Braves signed a five-year contract with star center fielder B.J. Upton for a whopping US$ 75.25 million. Upon signing of the deal B.J. Upton said that he and his younger brother Justin Upton had discussed the possibility of playing in Atlanta together and were hoping a miracle lands them together in the same squad.

Well people who’ve already bought Atlanta Braves 2013 Season Tickets might be in for a surprise this season and might just get to see the Upton brothers playing together. If reports are to be believed the Arizona Diamondbacks are running out of options to trade Justin Uptonwhich has given rise to several speculations about the Braves considering signing the 25 year old.

After this Thursday the Atlanta Braves are being as favorites to land Justin Upton after the right fielder declined to play for the Mariners and the Rangers decided to stop pursuing the popular D-backs player.

The odds of these players playing together in the Atlanta Braves have drastically improved. The popular team has approximately $12 million in their budget to spend during the upcoming season. Financially speaking the Braves can easily afford Justin Upton, who would be owed $9.75 million in 2013, $14.25 million in 2014 and $14.5 million in 2015. The money offered to Justin would simply replace Brian McCann’s pay who, in all likelihood, is playing his final season with the Braves.

With Justin Upton, the Braves would be getting a player who batted .280 with 17 home runs and a .785 OPS while battling a thumb injury this past year. The 25-year-old outfielder hit .289 with 31 homers and a .898 OPS during the 2011 season.

The Braves will be one hard team to beat this season. A significant improvement in their offensive tactics is already visible and the addition of Justin Upton would contribute heavily to their firepower.

The Braves have a fan in me and I’m one of those who stand with the team through thick and thin. As soon as I heard Ticket Vistas was selling tickets for atlanta braves for a bargain I quickly made a purchase. Can’t wait for the season to begin. Go Braves!

After purchasing Cheap Book of Mormon Tickets from Ticket Vistas for a discount and watching one of its presentations at the Eugene O’Neil Theater in New York City I was completely lost for words when it came to describing this particular musical

On one hand The Book of Mormon is freakishly hilarious. From the opening Act to the entire length of the show laughter could be hard. LOL took on a whole new meaning during the show and audiences could be seen laughing their ass off, and I’ve got to admit, there were times when I ran out of air from laughing so hard.

The Book of Mormon is hilarious, no doubt about it. It’ll have you LMAO’ING in to time, and chances are you’ll have a grand time. But then there were plenty of, “OMG they didn’t just say that” moments as well. When you purchase The Book of Mormon Broadway Tickets, keep one thing in mind. This musical isn’t for the faint of heart or for religiously sensitive people. It is laced with profanity throughout. The F and C words have been brutally overused and it doesn’t hesitate in making fun of the Mormon Church.

Despite the fact that practicing Mormons have been depicted as good, kind hearted individuals, the religion itself is ridiculed constantly by a Jesus dressed in a light-up costume, Joseph Smith in a spray tan and blond wig and a silent Brigham Young. The church’s morality, official stance on homosexuality and acceptance of black people as its members is questioned multiple times throughout the musical.

Controversial creators of late night smash hit comedy South Park have gone all out on this one. Some would even say they’ve gone overboard and don’t hold anything back when it comes to making fun of the Mormon religion. Matt Stone and Trey Parker have made a musical comedy that has offended a lot of people, but it’s probably what they were aiming for.

Offensive sure but the Book of Mormon is a great production. The highlight of the show is adrenalin soaked choreography of Casey Nicholaw and tight laughter based direction of Trey Parker. The leading man Gavin Creel is brilliant in the role of Elder Price and his performance sets the tone of the show and contributes heavily to the overall feel of the musical.

If you’re not sensitive about religious matters or profanity laced content I recommend you watch a presentation of The Book of Mormon at your earliest. Your face will hurt from laughing constantly. That’s a guarantee!

Planning – Planning can not be stressed enough when it comes to your wedding, can it? Plan with us (or whichever DJ you chose) when you want to do things like garter auctions, dollar dances, boquet tosses, etc. Then make sure that your bridal party knows which events they have to take part in so they know where they are have to be and when they’re supposed to be there.

Share Your Lives With Your Guests – Encourage your friends and family to share stories from the microphone. See if you have any friends who would like to do comedy skits regarding you and your mate. A maid of honor and a groomsmen surprised one couple with a hilarious skit about how they met and fell in love. And their guests loved it.

Let Your Guests Play – Your guests really want to have fun. Show them how. Instead of clanking their glasses to see you kiss, require each table to stand up and sing a song with the word “love” in it. If you have a big band at your reception, bring in someone to offer free (and brief) ballroom dancing lessons to your guests on the spot. We were able to find someone from our campus ballroom dancing club to offer lessons to our guests. It got a lot of them out on the dance floor and enjoying themselves in no time.
